Jira issues with particular historical workflow status

[Jez]

Hi

I would like to ID (filter) issues which have ever had a particular status [statusX] in workflow

Issues may now be any status inclusing closed  but at some point previously had [statusX]. 

is that possible?

Hi @Jez ,

Could you try with this jql ?

project=TEST and status was "To Do"

Replace TEST with your project key and "To Do" with the status of your choice.

i tried it  -  it worked.

thank you for the quick help. 

I also discovered that Status cannot be used in Basic view as a filter field/option. Can only be added in jql/advanced view.

why is that?

Status will be seen as third option, next to project and type. It will not been seen under "More Option". Could you check if basic mode shows Status field?
